RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa post match thread.

[Somniloquism]

I still reckon we need minimum of 4 points.

I don't think any will disagree for certain qualification, and our inferior GD to some of the others around us we will need to be at least a point above the cut off, but I still think 15 points and GD will be the cut-off. 16 points will still be fine but maybe squeaky if we lose in Monaco in January.

Need them to find their shooting boots soon, created enough chances and situations to score 7 or 8 tonight, again

[Paul.S]

It appears this manager of ours is quite good and knows what he’s doing.

Just to add, us beating German opposition goes a long way to ensuring 5th in the PL is CL place.

Few pissed Villa fans on Talksport tonight!

I really enjoyed that. Thought we were exquisite going forward at times. Was expecting the post-match thread to be a tad more upbeat.

Martinez to blame for both goals. Came out when he shouldn’t and didn’t when he should have.

Rogers was back to his best, Duran was excellent and Bouba is the best player in the world.

Having seen the images of the Cash offside for  Durans 2nd, we deserved a bit of luck. About 1/1000th of an inch ffs

We only need one point to finish in top 24.

Unfortunately that is all it takes these days. Did they ever show a graphic for Watkins offside? He looked well off in play, looked tight on the freeze frame but don't think I saw the graphic.

This and...

Konsa isn't a RB then you've got the chuckle brothers next to him, good job it was only Leipzig tonight

Correct, he seemed to be playing RCB today.

Are the impact Openda had (who was excellent) first goal he was sharp and smart and made Emi, Konsa and Carlos look like mugs. 2nd goal his pace was still in Emi's mind and he tried to play safe by statying back and letting his defence clear up.

If we're looking for another attacking player in January someone with that sort of sprint speed would be a really useful addition to give us a point of difference if we counter quickly.

We are certainly through to the next round of matches whether that is straight in or entering a qualifier, and if the latter, I also think we have already done enough for 2nd leg at home.

Kamara is the cog that makes the Villa wristwatch tick..roll on the new year..UTV

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Massive three points. Hopefully it will give us the cash to but a new defence.*

*Waves at Percy. Seriously, I'm just happy with the win but we don need to improve.

About half a yard off in the end but given the speed Ollie broke it that's translates to McGinn just needing to get the ball away a fraction of a second sooner. The Duran one was tighter, a few inches in it.

[Somniloquism]

I was fuming that Duran didn't try to do anything like Watkins did for his. Put it in the net and then have it checked. Instead he tapped it into the central defender and then stopped and looked at the flag instead of trying to stop them from breaking.
